UNDATED (AP) — Receiver A.J. Green is returning to the Arizona Cardinals on a one-year deal. The seven-time Pro Bowler played in 16 games last season, catching 54 passes for 848 yards and three touchdowns. The 33-year-old is expected to be the team’s No. 2 option next to three-time All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins.
Elsewhere in the NFL:
— The Packers have found a replacement for All-Pro receiver Davante Adams by signing free agent Sammy Watkins. The fourth player taken in the 2014 has 348 receptions for 5,059 yards and 34 touchdowns, much of that coming before being plagued with injuries over the last six years. Watkins caught 27 passes for 394 yards and only one touchdown last season with the Baltimore Ravens, his fourth NFL team.
— The Lions have signed safety DeShon Elliott to a one-year contract. Elliott has had a host of injury issues and missed 10 games last season with a torn biceps-pectoral muscle. He has 106 career tackles, including 3 1/2 sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception since being drafted by the Ravens four years ago.
